# Countdown vs Counter

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Counter at none against Countdown's 1. Countdown's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Counter asks for nothing beyond the download.
